Greetings,

I guess I should first start by stating that my computer skills are extremely limited and at probably the most basic level. Much of what I have been reading here is Greek to me.

I have two sites I have added the Web Wiz Forums to and I have a few problems and a few questions that I was hoping one of you experienced people would be kind enough to help me out with.

PROBLEMS

·       When one clicks on the Emoticon Smilies button nothing happens.

·       When one clicks on the Forum Codes during the registration process nothing happens.

·       I tried to set up the E-mail Activation of Membership under the Admin E-Mail Notification Setup however it gives those who register and error message.

Questions

·       Can I change the Forum Rules and Policies on the Register New User page so that they can be site specific?

·       When I registered here, how did you get it to ask for my IM Information and the like and can I add a place for the users name as well?

·       Can I enlarge the Avatar area to be greater than 32x32 pixels, I have seen the 64x64 and 100x100 pixels but have been unsuccessful in getting my boards to accept them as they compress it to the 32x32?

I apologize for asking questions that seem so basic to many of you and that have been answered in some other threads but I just didn’t understand what you guys were saying. I sure hope this doesn’t mean you think I have no business trying to set up these boards on my sites.

I sure would appreciate any help you can offer me, Please feel free to either respond here or e-mail me at mailto:Tim@Durham.US - Tim@Durham.US .

BTW: The two sites I am having problems with are http://www.socalsinker.com/ - http://www.SoCalSinker.com and http://www.durhams.us/ - http://www.Durhams.US

Thank you again for your patience with a not so savvy computer person.

Well,

If you read these questions in other threads and didn't understand the way to solve them...

Then I think you really should put some time and learn more, there is not many ways to answer these questions differently.

You can learn, everybody can, I learn (not very much yet but I'm in my way) and I can assure you that when I find this forum I didn't even know what asp means...

Try the tutorials here and the ones in other sites. The begginig is a little hard but then you start to figure out how things work, and it's worthy it.

• I tried your forum and the Emotion Smilies pop-up works for me, if you have something that disables pop-ups it wont work. (Also if your Java Script is disabled on your browser it will not work)


• To use e-mail you need to run a special program on the computer that runs your website, it's called a mail server. You have to talk to your host about the use of SMTP server for your website.


• You can add to the Forum Rules and Policies but you should not delete anything from there.


• The IM Information is only for the new version of the forum that is still in it's test stage.


• You can up the avatar size but that would mean you have to edit the forum code. I dont think you should do it. It can also have a negative effect on the forum tables. So dont bother

Trevni,

I thank you for your assistance.I am glad that others will be able to use the Smilies and will have to look at my browser settings.

The informaion you providedwill give me a start -Thank You again
